    Welp... I finally actually saw the Judge interference play. It looked like OBVIOUS interference, because his arm was straight up to an unusual and even awkward degree. So let the talking heads yap away, and I hope the ump gets ripped for idiocy or proNY bias and Judge get blasted for cheating. That said... it's STILL no excuse for giving up so many more runs. The End, for today.

    Last season, I reckoned we could win 80+% of games if we scored at least 5 runs. Lately, 5 runs are not even cosmetic. OK. I'm done b!tch!ng. Bring on the Rays!

    I used to could throw a decent knuckleball and screwball in the New Orleans lawyers' overhand slow-pitch softball league (c. 1990-something 😕 ).
  4. Nola Beery
    Yeah. Bad call. Really bad. Those happen. But that craphouse ump did not walk the next 19 batters. Just a pathetic showing by the team. No excuses.
  5. Nola Beery
    That was a disgrace. SHAME. If this pitching keeps up.... move over, White Sox, we're comin' down! <sobs hysterically>

    HEAR HIM!!! It's the (lack of) pitching. Uribe stunk up the joint. Dreadful.
  7. Nola Beery
    I'll go away now. The charade is over: WE CANNOT PITCH. Uribe was awful, bad and awful, and bad, and awful. Now Judge will hit it out. Bughghghghghghgh!

    Great win. Nice recovery for a split! And (pedantry alert!) it's Wiemer. Under German pronunciation rules, Weimer would be pronounced WHY-mer. (Actually VYE-mer, but let's not get carried away.) You're welcome!! 😁😶

    I confess that I was hoping they'd send him. Alas. Didn't work.

    Just when I was ready to throw the radio (i.e., my phone) out the back door. YAY. Let's hang on. Oh wait. leadoff double. Bughghghghgh!
  11. Nola Beery
    Whew.
  12. Nola Beery
    Bughghghghgh!!!

    That play works in highschool girls softball.... sometimes. Incredibly dumb.
  14. Nola Beery
    Boogers!

    Glad to be watching the game on ESPN+ after having a stupid argument with my eldest daughter. It will be OK if some one else tells me I'm full of S#1+. bughghghghgh!
  16. Nola Beery
    Woot!
  17. Nola Beery
    uhhhh

    Yelich!

    Happy family obligations have kept me away from here for the first game or so. But I must say that I'm amazed in a really good way!

    Even before I knew BA was associated with the Brewers, I thought he was great play-by-play guy: He always seemed to be excited without being melodramatic; he usually didn't say too much; and he has the perfect voice timbre for a baseball announcer,

    I guess it's time to quit moping and start appreciating the last baseball games until next Spring! I don't care much about who wins the AL, as by birth and upbringing, I have a very hard time cheering for any Texas team (though I do like Dusty Baker). In the WS, I'll be for the NL winner. Kinda leaning toward the Phils, but it might be some small consolation if the D-Backs who knocked us out went all the way.

    I don't hate the "chaos"; that's how playoffs work. But that doesn't change that I love the regular season rhythm much more (for reasons others and I have expressed earlier in this thread). I guess what really bothers me is the simple fact that in the playoffs, the games and teams dwindle down until there ain't no more baseball! 😪
  23. Nola Beery
    This really sums it up better than I could do!
  24. Nola Beery
    I'm sure if the Brewers were still playing, I'd feel differently, BUT.... I just can't enjoy the "postseason" (a name I hate) as much as the regular season. In the regular season, there's always tomorrow to look forward to. Or there's always a different game or team to watch or listen to. However, a leisurely summer of a wonderful 19th-Century pastoral game simply isn't quite enough for most people today. (See George Carlin's comparison of baseball and football.) The expanded playoffs, with all the pressure and finality, feed our culture's need for constant and instant amusement and stimulation. And I appreciate the drama of teams fighting it out for the last wildcard spot. But anything less than a best-of-7 series seems inadequate to decide a winner. The current MLB playoffs are like running a 100-meter dash after a marathon, where the marathon winner starts in the same place as the runners who barely finished. That said, I don't know how I would change anything. When is opening day 2024?

    I just remembered: About 30 (!) years ago, the NO Saints impossibly lost a game to our archrivals, the hated Atlanta Falcons. I went out in the back yard and tossed my cookies (that is, I puked). At that moment, I vowed never to be so invested in any sporting event. As my wise buddy later said, "Win or lose, I still have to take the kids to school and go to work the next day." Still, the brief emotional investment makes sport the great thing that it is.
